During the right-angle turn in Subject 2 of the driving test, touching the line with the front of the car will result in a deduction of 100 points. Below is a detailed introduction to the Subject 2 test: 1. Overview: Subject 2, also known as the small road test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment and refers to the field driving skills test. The test items for small cars (C1/C2) include five mandatory components: reverse parking, parallel parking, stopping and starting on a slope, right-angle turns, and curve driving. 2. Others: If a candidate fails the Subject 2 test for the first time, they are allowed one retake. If the candidate does not attend the retake or fails the retake, the test is terminated, and the applicant must reschedule the test after ten days. Within the validity period of the driving skills test permit, the number of times a candidate can reschedule the Subject 2 and Subject 3 road driving skills tests must not exceed five.

Last time I took the driving test, I failed at the right-angle turn—crossing the line directly cost me 100 points, resulting in an immediate test failure. To be honest, this task looks simple, but many beginners make mistakes—mainly due to poor position control during the turn or steering too sharply, causing the car body to tilt and sweep the line. The instructor repeatedly emphasized that losing points isn’t just about the test; in reality, crossing the line on a narrow road could lead to a sideswipe with another car, ranging from minor scratches to serious accidents—it’s too dangerous. During practice, I always reminded myself to slow down, turn early, and keep an eye on the mirrors to ensure the wheels stay inside the curve. Now that I’ve passed the test, I realize these rules are truly reasonable—beginners should practice more to develop good habits. Passing the test is minor; safety is what truly matters. After all, every turn on the road is a matter of life.

Having driven for over a decade, I still remember how strict the grading was for 90-degree turns – touching the line meant an instant 100-point deduction, failing the test immediately. These rules aren’t just for licensing exams; they’re even more critical in daily driving. For example, in urban curves, if your vehicle crosses the line and encounters motorcycles or other traffic, the risks are terrifying. My advice for beginners: slow down during practice, don’t rush the turn; use reference markings to gauge positioning. I trained this way when I was younger—practice makes perfect. Don’t underestimate such mistakes: failing a test can be retaken, but real-road mishaps are far worse. Investing extra time in simulated practice is absolutely worth it.

As someone who frequently drives on test tracks, I can tell you that crossing the line during a right-angle turn is no joke—it usually means an instant 100-point deduction and immediate test failure. The reason is simple: a vehicle crossing the line indicates weak control, which can easily lead to scratches or worse accidents. For beginners, I recommend anticipating the turn angle in advance, reducing speed to below 15 km/h, and steering smoothly—don’t wait until the last moment to turn. Safety comes first; the rules aren’t there to fail you but to protect everyone. In real-world driving, this habit can save you from countless troubles.

Do You Need to Press the Accelerator When Reversing in an Automatic Transmission Car?

When reversing in an automatic transmission car, you generally do not need to press the accelerator. Simply shift into the R (Reverse) gear and release the brake, and the car will move backward automatically. However, in certain situations such as when on a slope or when the wheels are on a speed bump, the idle power of the engine may not be sufficient to overcome the resistance. In such cases, you may need to lightly press the accelerator to assist in reversing. An automatic transmission eliminates the need for the driver to manually shift gears, as the vehicle automatically selects the appropriate gear based on speed and traffic conditions. Typically, automatic transmission cars have six gear positions, arranged from top to bottom as: P (Park), R (Reverse), N (Neutral), D (Drive), S (Sport), and L (Low).

Where is the tire pressure reset button on the Great Wall Pao?

The tire pressure reset button for the Great Wall Pao is the SET button on the central dashboard. Tire pressure reset is an operation performed on the tire pressure monitoring system to reset it after addressing a tire pressure fault. There are generally three reasons for abnormal tire pressure: Abnormal tire pressure: The system typically alerts when the pressure is below 1.8 bar or above 3.0 bar. In such cases, tire inspection and pressure adjustment are required. Failure to reset the tire pressure monitoring: After inflating the tires, if the tire pressure is not reset promptly, the monitoring system will retain the previous data, causing the tire pressure warning light to illuminate. Simply performing a tire pressure reset will resolve this issue. Damaged tire pressure sensor: The tire pressure sensor, which monitors tire pressure, is installed inside the tire and connected to the tire inflation valve. If the sensor is damaged due to impact while driving, it can trigger the tire pressure warning light. In case of sensor damage, the only solution is to replace it with a new component.

Can Green and Red Antifreeze Be Mixed?

Whether green and red antifreeze can be mixed depends on the brand and composition of the antifreeze. Antifreeze of different brands or compositions should not be mixed. This is because the production formulas of antifreeze from different brands may vary, and mixing them could lead to chemical reactions between various additives, rendering them ineffective. Antifreeze is a type of coolant containing special additives, primarily used in liquid-cooled engine cooling systems. It offers excellent performance in preventing freezing in winter, boiling in summer, and resisting scale and corrosion year-round. It also prevents the coolant from freezing and expanding in cold winters, which could otherwise crack the radiator or damage the engine cylinder block or head. The main components of antifreeze are: 50% pure water, 40% methanol, and 10% other substances. It is generally categorized into three types: ethanol-water, glycerol-water, and ethylene glycol-water.

Is Braking Distance the Same as Stopping Distance?

Braking distance is indeed stopping distance, so the faster the vehicle speed, the longer the braking distance (stopping distance). Braking distance is one of the key parameters to measure a vehicle's braking performance, consisting of two parts: reaction distance and braking distance. Below are the relevant explanations: Reaction Distance: The distance traveled by the vehicle from the moment the driver notices a situation and intends to stop until the brake pedal is pressed and braking action begins is called reaction distance. Reaction distance depends on the driver's level of concentration, technical proficiency, and the vehicle's speed. Higher concentration and better technical skills result in a shorter reaction distance, while the opposite leads to a longer reaction distance; the faster the vehicle speed, the longer the reaction distance, and vice versa. Braking Distance: The distance traveled by the vehicle from the moment the driver presses the brake pedal and braking action begins until the vehicle comes to a complete stop is called braking distance. The length of the braking distance is related to the vehicle's speed, braking force, coefficient of friction, etc. The faster the speed, the longer the braking distance—for example, doubling the speed increases the braking distance by four times. The greater the braking force, the shorter the braking distance, and vice versa.

Why is there a hump in the middle of the back row in some cars?

Some cars have a hump in the middle of the back row because: for the flatness of the chassis, as the car's underbody is equipped with an exhaust pipe or drive shaft, usually rear-wheel-drive cars must transmit the engine's power to the rear wheels through the drive shaft, so structurally, such a hump is necessary. The hump between the front and rear seats from front to back is a structural design intended to enhance the longitudinal rigidity of the cabin, while also providing space for the exhaust pipe to run backward without affecting the chassis's ground clearance. If the chassis were a flat steel plate, it would easily "fold" upon impact. However, if the chassis is designed with a semi-circular hump, its ability to withstand impact can be many times stronger than a flat steel plate, and it is less prone to deformation. This is similar to adding a steel beam to the chassis.
